We’re proud to share the completion of Phase 1 of the Emergency Department addition at Powers Health St. Catherine Hospital.

This project represents a significant enhancement to the hospital’s facilities, improving patient flow, staff efficiency, and overall care experience. See the transformation of Phase 1 of the Emergency Department addition in the showcase video.
